I'm staying at my moms house in Denver. Pretty sure the damn thieves will out and about.

They are Holley Valve Covers with LS2 coils. I had to get the LS2 harness then I cut the white connectors off to make it look clean. Had my buddy weld on -10 bungs and make baffles for PCV.

Looking to also do this auto swap on my 99 c5 i just picked up a 4l60e the other day and will be soon be ordering the rest of the parts necessary for the swap. As far as I know all i will need is auto torque tube, auto bell hosing, auto wiring harness, flex plate, shifter,torque converter and an oil cooler. Im just looking through eBay for that stuff other than the tc and oil cooler. How bad is the wiring part of this job? I got no problem dropping tranny and diff its just the wiring part that has me a little worried.

Wiring isn't bad at all. Get the service manual for a 99. It will make like a lot easier. Hit me up if you need any help.
I think I have a factory auto bell housing if your interested.

Good Job. 
What tranny cooler? Did you use the hard lines all the way to the front and then soft to the cooler? Looking for options on how others have done it. I'm thinking either mount in the rear (with a fan) or in the front as well.

B&M Supercooler with fan (that's stays on all the time). Used hardlines to the bellhousing then -6 lines to the cooler. Lot of heat shielding. The -6 lines go right by the passenger side header, but temps haven't got over 155 during normal driving.
